Hey all, I posted some photos in the photo section under the album: Matthew2000tx. These photos of the moon were taken with a Meade DSX90AT EC, and a Logitech...
Hey all, I found a free demo of a photostitch program and I couldn't resist the clear night, so I got the webcam out again and snapped 276 images with my...
I don't have one but I think the ETX-80 would make a fine little camping and backpacking scope. "My advice is free and worth every penny!" -Christopher...
Hi all, I just posted a photo of the last night moon eclipse. I also posted a photo of my mixed Meade DS- Orion StarBlast. As the original 114 ota from Meade...

The Autostars don't need a daylight savings patch. You tell the Autostar during bootup if daylight savings is currently in effect or not and the Autostar uses...
She who must be obeyed gave me a Meade DS2114ATS for Christmas and I finally got to start using it without freezing certain parts of my body off. I love the...

I am not sure what you mean by diagonal. I have an astronomy club close, so I will contact them to see when they meet and if they are willing to help. I am...
Barry, My first DS2114AT came to me with the corrector lens in the focuser rolling around in the tube when I unpacked it. Meade sent me another one and I had...
No. The 506 cable only works with the 494 Autostar. The 505 cable works with the 495/497 Autostars. "My advice is free and worth every penny!" -Christopher...
Hi, yesterday I mounted my DS2090 on top of my C11. It had been a while since I looked through that scope and I was again surprised how nice the view was given...
has anyone a diagram for the cable used to connect the 494 to a pc? Also i would like to ask what the latest software for the 494 is and were i can get it. ...

Horst, the 494 cable actually has some active electronics in it, it is different than just a simple cable with a different pinout. From what I have gathered,...
And the 497 does so much more too! "My advice is free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network Design Engineer 5432 E. Northern Lights Blvd.,...
